[Bug 1894622] Re: Missing manpage for systemd-resolve

[Brian Murray]

Hello Fabrizio, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/246.6-1ubuntu1.5 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]

  'man systemd-resolve' fails

  [test case]

  $ man systemd-resolve
  No manual entry for systemd-resolve

  [regression potential]

  incorrect man page result for resolvectl or resolvconf, or possibly
  users using deprecated systemd-resolve longer than they should

  [scope]

  this is needed in f and later

  systemd-resolve was replaced with resolvectl between b and f, so the
  man page exists in b

  [other info]

  the systemd-resolve binary is a symlink to the real binary resolvectl, and users should use resolvectl for all new uses. A patch to the upstream man page was proposed and merged in this PR:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20064

  however that is being discussed and may be reverted in this PR:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20077

  as discussed in the revert PR, it's ok for upstream to elide docs
  about deprecated tooling; however distros should include deprecation
  info and thus I believe it's appropriate to include the man page
  symlink so users trying 'man systemd-resolve' will get the correct
  'resolvectl' man page, which includes doc about how they shoudl start
  using 'resolvectl' instead

  [original description]

  On my Focal machine there is no file /usr/share/man/man1/systemd-resolve.1.gz
  This means that man systemd-resolve fails.

  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/systemd-
  resolve.1.html exists and has a link on top to 20.04LTS: it points to
  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/systemd-
  resolve.1.html , that however 404's, and one ends up being redirected
  to Bionic's.
